    Games like Skyrim or GTA love talk about open worlds, but it seems, that so far only Minecraft has truly embraced this principle. (…) This here is your story, that you simultaneously write and experience. All at your own pace.

    Meanwhile, Minecraft, with all its flaws and quirks, has already joined Super Mario Brothers, Wolfenstein 3D, and Tetris in the pantheon of games that prototyped an entire genre.

    Now that it's finally "finished," Minecraft stands as a remarkable achievement - not only a well-rounded gaming experience, but a chance for players to experiment, explore freely and reshape their environment to an almost ludicrous level. If you own a computer and haven't given Minecraft a try, you're missing one of the most unique experiences of this generation.

    A sensation, and rightly so. This is a game that makes you both happy and creative.

    A must-play title - as much a part of videogaming as it is anything else. [Issue#118, p.102]

It features simple, intuitive, and interesting mechanics easily learned on the fly, yet it features an emergent depth of gameplay. The graphics are lo-res, yet charming, and reminiscent of old style 8-bit games, with a 3d touch. For the price, this is one of those games that you will not regret ever getting as before you realize it, you'll have spent hours and hours digging "just one more tunnel. "… Expand

    Minecraft is a huge sandbox game with a unlimited amount of features like building with unlimited ressources in the games creative mode,Minecraft is a huge sandbox game with a unlimited amount of features like building with unlimited ressources in the games creative mode, killing evil creatures in the survival mode, building your own circuits and computer systems using the games electricity simulator called "Redstone ", creating your own games inside minecraft using its "data packs and resourcepacks", writing and recreating songs using the "noteblocks" or modifying the game to add even more features to it. if this all isn't something for you, then you can still use the games multiplayer features to kill people on online servers. As you can see, the possibilities are endless. But propably the most important thing is the possibility to copy your world's and share them with other people. in this way, there have been many recreations of other games like "The legend of zelda : ocarina of time "(huge shout out to rivero for developing this over 8 years! ) or "among us" made and are available to the public for free. I really enjoy this game.… Expand

While there are some bugs,Minecraft offers a somewhat simple experience in designing what you want with some adventure elements placed in. While there are some bugs, Minecraft excels in exactly what it advertised, the power for us to build to our heart's content. Despite this Minecraft feels somewhat incomplete though every block of it is still worth what you paid for.… Expand

Then about nine hours later I was addicted and asked myself "Why am I still playing this crappy looking game?" If your criteria for judging a video game is based on graphics then this game would receive a low score. However for fun and re-playability this game receives a perfect score. The world in Minecraft is massive. So massive that if you started running in one direction 24/7, you would reach the end of the world in a little over three months real time. With each patch the game gets better. Multiplayer is where the real fun is at. Cooperative gameplay or player vs player makes for a great LAN party game. Highly recommended.… Expand

A nice, if not new concept which allows players to achieve great things. The game works well with friends, and alone, but you must realize that in order to be entertained, you need to have a goal. If you aren't working on something this game gets boring fast. So think of something, and build it!… Expand
